00:18Good morning
00:20Music
00:24Megan
00:26Megan
00:28Music
00:30Music
00:32Look, can we talk about this?
00:34There's nothing to talk about, Jamie.
00:36How many times do I have to tell you?
00:38I didn't do it. You know me.
00:40Don't raise your voice to me.
00:42I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come out like that.
00:44Okay?
00:46Stay away from me.
00:50This isn't over.
00:52Music
00:58More papers for me to sign.
01:00Never ends.
01:02Yeah.
01:03You all right?
01:04Yeah, I'm fine.
01:06Just a headache.
01:07Listen.
01:08This can wait.
01:10Go home, get some rest.
01:11No, I'm fine, really.
01:12No, you're not.
01:13All this business, the stress.
01:15I mean, it just eats you up.
01:16Just take the rest of the day off.
01:18Maybe you're right.
01:20Have you heard anything about the money?
01:22We're going to the police.
01:24I sent Jamie home.
01:25He's under investigation.
01:27I feel terrible about this.
01:29Never feel bad about doing the right thing.
01:31And remember, Jamie brought this on himself.
01:33Go home.
01:37Thank you, Todd.
01:55Can I see what you're drawing, Brian?
02:11I recognize that carriage house.
02:15You've remembered every detail.
02:19It's beautiful.
02:21Thanks.
02:23Let's take a walk to the community center after lunch.
02:28Hmm?
02:29You can bring your drawing and show everyone.
02:32Okay.
02:33Oh.
02:34Hold up.
02:35I forgot my phone.
02:36Where did I put it?
02:37Just hang on.
02:38Wait.
02:39Hold up.
02:40Hold up.
02:41Hold up.
02:42Hold up.
02:43Hold up.
02:44Hold up.
02:45Hold up.
02:46Hold up.
02:47Hold up.
02:48Hold up.
02:49Hold up.
02:50Hold up.
02:51Just hang on.
02:53Wait right there, Brian.
02:54Hold up.
02:55Hold up.
02:56Hold up.
02:57Hold up.
02:58Hold up.
03:14Hold up.
03:15Hold up.
03:16Oh, God!
03:17Ryan?
03:34Ryan?
03:36Ryan!
03:41Ryan?
04:02Mark, Rex, glad you two got here quickly.
04:07What have we got?
04:08Well, it's twofold.
04:09Emma Jansen reported her 12-year-old autistic son, Brian, missing.
04:12Vanished from the neighborhood.
04:13Yeah, take a look at this.
04:15This was recorded from the law offices on security camp.
04:18See Brian and his mother here on the street.
04:22Then the mother ducks in for a second.
04:24Brian waits on the sidewalk
04:27when a woman crosses the street and walks past the van.
04:32Watch this.
04:37Snatch job.
04:38Do you know who the victim is?
04:40Megan Schaefer, according to the ID found in the purse she dropped.
04:43She's a lawyer right here at Wilkins Law.
04:46And the abductor?
04:47No idea.
04:48Van's plates were stolen off of a car at Flat Rock three days ago.
04:51I put a bolo out on similar vans, but they're super common.
04:54Show Mark the rest.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Okay.
04:57So here, here's Brian running away.
05:01Traumatized.
05:02Yeah, no doubt.
05:03Okay.
05:04So we can't see the face of the abductor, but the boy may have.
05:14Okay.
05:15Call me to get that.
05:16Find this.
05:17Find the boy fast.
05:18Right.
05:19That boy can save Megan's life.
05:20Yeah.
05:21Look, we have dozens of uniformed officers scouring the neighborhood, but so far nothing.
05:25What is it, Rex?
05:29What do you got there?
05:43Pencil crayon.
05:44Brian's an accomplished artist.
05:46Yeah.
05:47His mother found the picture he dropped.
05:50It's inside.
05:51Here you go.
05:52Well, Sarah's in there now.
05:54Okay.
05:55Well, Rex and I will check in before we begin the search.
05:58Okay.
05:59Good.
06:00Megan's parents just received a ransom demand.
06:05I'm going to talk to them.
06:06Okay.
06:07Hey.
06:08Okay.
06:09What do you have?
06:18I never leave Brian alone.
06:20Never.
06:21When Brian was young, we noticed something was different.
06:25Eventually we got the diagnosis of autism.
06:27And a couple of years later, my husband died in a car crash.
06:32It was just Brian and I.
06:35That must have been very difficult.
06:37Yeah.
06:38It was devastating, but we kept going.
06:40And eventually Brian did speak.
06:43No, it was never about speaking.
06:45It was about him finding his own way of communicating.
06:50One day, his grandmother bought him some colored pencils and he just started making these amazing drawings.
06:59And everything changed.
07:01And everything changed.
07:02Oh, no, they are.
07:03Amazing.
07:04Incredible detail.
07:05Yeah.
07:06He does it all from memory.
07:08So drawing became his way to communicate?
07:11He rarely speaks.
07:12Just a word or two every once in a while.
07:15This is his latest.
07:16It's from this morning and as soon as I saw it on the sidewalk, I knew something was wrong.
07:26We're gonna find him.
07:27We've got officers coming in the neighborhood.
07:29Emma, there's a chance that your son saw something that could help us find the young woman who's been abducted.
07:35He must be so scared.
07:37Do you have any idea where Brian might have gone?
07:39No.
07:40But I wish I did.
07:45He has a range of responses when he gets upset.
07:50He can be really disoriented and fight back if he feels threatened.
07:54Can Rex and I take for the drawing?
07:57His scent will help us track him.
07:58Of course.
08:02Okay.
08:03Rex, come on.
08:30We have your daughter.
08:33Wait at home.
08:34Instructions to come.
08:36Follow precisely or there will be consequences.
08:40Who would do this?
08:41Megan's never hurt anyone.
08:43Well, evidently it's someone who's trying to extort money from you.
08:46You have a chain of successful produce stores.
08:50But it could also be other motivations.
08:52Such as?
08:53Someone who's trying to hurt you by taking Megan?
08:57No one.
08:58No one dislikes us that much.
09:00Are you sure?
09:01Possibly someone who's upset with your business?
09:04Well, we've had a few unhappy customers.
09:06An angry supplier or two, but nothing serious.
09:10Still, we'll need a list of names.
09:12Of course.
09:14It could also be someone with a grudge against Megan.
09:18Someone associated with one of her cases, perhaps.
09:22That's Jamie.
09:23I'm sorry?
09:24Who's...
09:25Who's Jamie?
09:27Jamie Bridget.
09:28He works at the same firm.
09:30He and Megan were living together till recently, but she moved back home a couple weeks ago.
09:36She texted that she was leaving early from work today, walking, because she had some thinking to do.
09:43And what happened with this Jamie?
09:44She, uh...
09:47She wouldn't tell us.
09:48She's an extremely private person.
09:50We've always respected that.
09:53How did Jamie take the breakup?
09:55It's like Richard says.
09:57Megan keeps these things to herself.
09:59But who takes getting dumped well?
10:02To be honest, I've always thought there was something off about Jamie.
10:07Oh, my...
10:08I'm sorry.
10:09I haven't...
10:10You must have thought of me.
10:11I don't have to try to talk to Jamie.
10:12Ha ha ha ha...
10:13I don't know.
10:43Stop.
11:08Brian.
11:10Hey.
11:10No, it's okay.
11:13I'm with the police.
11:13Your mom, uh, your mom set us to find you.
11:20Right?
11:20Everything's all right.
11:21Just calm down.
11:23No, no, Rex, don't miss you.
11:40Nice work, Parker.
12:08And Brian still isn't communicating.
12:09Uh, no, nothing.
12:11I was trying to help by getting Brian to draw what he saw,
12:14but, uh, he's been through a lot.
12:16Any idea how long it'll be like this?
12:17He's our only eyewitness.
12:19Uh, no, no, his mother says he'll come out of it
12:21when he's ready.
12:22Okay, until then, we focus on the abduction.
12:24Megan's parents said that she broke up with a boyfriend
12:26from the same outfit.
12:28The mother wasn't too fond of him.
12:30You know what, Mark?
12:31Meet me at her firm.
12:32I will do.
12:34Anything?
12:35No.
12:36And I know Brian would want to help try and find Megan,
12:38but right now, he can't.
12:41I understand.
12:41You're both doing everything you can.
12:44Rex and I need to rejoin the search for Megan.
12:46Yeah, of course.
12:47That poor woman.
12:49If something changes with Brian, will you...
12:51I will let you know immediately.
12:53Yeah.
12:54Rex?
12:54Rex?
13:02Rex?
13:16Thanks for speaking with us, Todd.
13:30What can you tell us about Jamie and Megan?
13:33They came to me about a year ago
13:35to ask about inter-office relationships.
13:38Now, they weren't breaching any HR policy,
13:41so the firm gave them the okay.
13:42They seemed like a nice, happy couple.
13:46Megan's parents told me that they broke up recently.
13:48They had.
13:49Just a couple weeks ago.
13:50Any idea why?
13:53This is rather sensitive.
13:55I think that they were already having problems,
13:58and Megan came to me with a complaint she received
14:00from one of our developer clients.
14:02What sort of complaint?
14:04They noticed irregularities
14:05in several of their escrow accounts,
14:07and Jamie was the point person here.
14:09The long and short of it is.
14:10Funds that should be in the account aren't.
14:13We were actually just about to come
14:14to the SJPD for assistance.
14:16And, uh, you think that Jamie took the money?
14:18We can't be totally sure,
14:20but it seems likely.
14:21Did you confront him?
14:22Yes.
14:23As a matter of fact,
14:24he was suspended this morning.
14:25The uniforms are checked.
14:36There's no sign of Jamie at his apartment.
14:37So Jamie's suspended.
14:39He's angry at Megan.
14:40Plus, he needs the ransom money
14:42to replace what he stole.
14:43He knows the route that she would take home,
14:45so he waits up front,
14:46and when she passes, he grabs her.
14:48But what I don't get
14:49is how he thought he'd get away with it.
14:51I mean, he must have known
14:52that we'd be onto him right away.
14:53Well, maybe he wasn't thinking straight.
14:57The most important thing
14:58is that if it is Jamie,
14:59we find out where he is
15:01and what he's done with Megan.
15:18Why are you doing this?
15:22Just let me go!
15:23Okay, what do you got on Jamie Bregnan?
15:3232 years old,
15:34graduate of University of Toronto
15:36in Osgoode Hall,
15:37called to the bar four years ago,
15:39moved here when he was offered
15:40the position at Wilkins.
15:42Has he gotten in any trouble before?
15:43Yeah, fender bender, traffic tickets,
15:45that's it.
15:46I don't like tracking him down at tickets.
15:47We've got a bolo out on him.
15:49Does he own any other property?
15:50Any place that he might have taken Megan?
15:52None that I can find.
15:53And we've been interviewing his friends, colleagues,
15:55but no luck there either.
15:57Is there anything else?
15:58Well, tracked Jamie's cell phone.
16:00It went dark just after 10 a.m.
16:02What about the vehicle?
16:03It was an SUV.
16:04Van's not his.
16:05Okay, check stolen vehicles,
16:07rental companies,
16:07any place where he could have gotten that van.
16:09Yeah, I'm already on it.
16:10And I've been tracking
16:12Jamie and Megan's bank card transactions,
16:15but so far, nothing.
16:17But what about the text from the kidnapper?
16:18It was sent via an anonymous texting site.
16:20He also used a VoIP, burner app,
16:22and I suspect a burner phone.
16:25It's gonna take a while to ID him.
16:26Okay, keep working on it.
16:28And dig deeper into the missing money
16:30from the law firm.
16:31There may be something there.
16:32You betcha.
16:34Sarah has forensic results.
16:36Let's go.
16:36Oh.
16:45Hey, I was just coming to see you.
16:46Yeah, uh, me too.
16:48Other than the victim's briefcase and purse,
16:50the only meaningful evidence
16:52we recovered are a few strands of brown hair
16:54that we think belong to the abductor.
16:57Jamie has brown hair.
16:58So do tens of thousands of other islanders.
17:01So nothing directly linking him to the abduction?
17:03No.
17:04Any word from the kidnapper?
17:05Uh, not yet, but it's, uh, it's coming soon.
17:07I think our best bet is Brian providing us
17:09with a description of the abductor.
17:11Because then we can either eliminate Jamie
17:13as a person of interest
17:14or we make him our prime suspect.
17:16Agreed, but how do we get him communicating again?
17:26Autistic children often react positively to animals,
17:29especially dogs.
17:31And Rex did calm Brian when we found him.
17:35Maybe he can help him again.
17:38You think you can do that?
17:39Oh, yeah.
17:40Mm-hmm.
17:47We've never had a pet.
17:49Just being a single mom, it never seemed like,
17:51it seemed like too much.
17:53But Brian seemed to connect with Rex.
17:57I mean, I saw it firsthand.
17:59Rex calmed her son when he was overwhelmed.
18:01And he still is overwhelmed.
18:03Brian's been through a really traumatic experience.
18:07I would be for any kin.
18:08He just, he needs time to process and calm down.
18:12Okay.
18:12But the truth is, we might not have that much time.
18:16Time to find Megan alive.
18:18And if Rex can help Brian process faster
18:21and find that calm.
18:23I have an autistic cousin, Emma.
18:28We grew up together, so I have a little understanding
18:31of how hard this must be for you.
18:33But I think you know that Brian would want to help if he could.
18:38He's a good kid.
18:39And sensitive.
18:40Artistic.
18:43I think growing up, he'll want to know
18:44that he did everything he could.
18:46And Rex can help him get there.
18:47You really think he can help Brian?
18:52Because he sure could use a friend right now.
19:05I'll eat your pencils out for you.
19:07Can you sit here?
19:17Thank you for doing this.
19:22We know it's hard.
19:23Yeah, even if it works, it's going to take time.
19:25Of course.
19:28Rex, you stay here with Sarah.
19:31Help Brian.
19:32Just, uh, do what you can.
19:35Okay?
19:36Go on.
19:36Who's giving him space?
19:58He seems to know what he's doing.
20:04Ransom demand just landed.
20:05I have to go, um, keep me updated.
20:14He wants two million dollars
20:16in unmarked and untraceable bills.
20:21And the money is not to be tampered with in any way
20:24or he says that something terrible will happen.
20:28There will be more instructions coming.
20:31Mom, Dad, I love you.
20:33Delivered via the same anonymous texting method as last time.
20:37Still no luck tracing it?
20:39None.
20:39And nothing on Jamie's whereabouts either.
20:41Any success figuring out what's happening
20:42with those accounts at the law firm?
20:44Some.
20:45But it's complicated.
20:46I've actually asked forensic accounting
20:48to assist with this one.
20:49So the long and short of it is
20:51that there's some serious cash sitting in an account
20:53that it shouldn't be in.
20:54So where'd it go?
20:55Well, if Jamie stole it, it's really well hidden.
20:57Well, maybe he's spent it already.
20:59Have you looked into gambling debts,
21:01stock market losses, drug use even?
21:03I didn't see anything like that.
21:04Thing is, is that he's still carrying
21:06a hundred thousand dollars in student debt.
21:10Keep digging, Jesse.
21:11Come with me.
21:12I, uh, called in some favors to cover the ransom.
21:24So what happens next?
21:27Well, the kidnappers will reach out again
21:28with specifics about the delivery.
21:30And once we have those details,
21:33we'll formulate a plan.
21:34What happens if the kidnappers get on to you?
21:36How do we know they won't hurt Megan?
21:38We'll be ready for anything.
21:40This is Schaefer.
21:40In the meantime, we do have a few more questions.
21:43Of course.
21:44Did Megan mention any problems at work?
21:46Um, perhaps money-related?
21:49Nothing like that.
21:50Did she mention anything about Jamie's personal life?
21:53Family, friends?
21:55Or perhaps she mentioned a place
21:56that Jamie might have taken her?
21:58Jamie's from Saskatchewan.
21:59His whole family's back there.
22:02He moved to St. John's when the firm hired him.
22:04Yeah.
22:04We never heard about any of his friends.
22:09Excuse me, I have to take this.
22:10Jesse, tell me you found Jamie.
22:15No, but a rental company reported
22:18that one of its fans was overdue to be returned.
22:20Let me guess.
22:21It's the same model used by the kidnappers.
22:23Exactly.
22:24And here's the thing.
22:25That fan has a GPS in it.
22:26What's he doing?
22:45Well, he thinks Brian is ready to draw.
22:55Kent, can you help?
23:01Hey.
23:04Rex is pretty amazing, huh, Brian?
23:06And this is his friend, Sarah,
23:10and she'd like to talk to you.
23:14Hey, Brian.
23:16So, um, Rex needs your help
23:19finding the woman who you saw being taken on the street.
23:23Her, uh, her name is Megan,
23:25and she's in danger.
23:30Did you see the man who took her?
23:34You think you can draw him for us?
23:38I know you've been through a lot,
23:40and what happened would upset and disorient anyone.
23:42You-you know what, Rex?
23:45Rex here could help you if-if you want.
23:49Right, Rex?
23:59Uh-huh.
24:12Jesse, any progress
24:16in getting the overdue van's location?
24:17Oh, you know what?
24:18I'm all jammed up waiting
24:19for judicial authorization
24:20on a trace for the GPS.
24:22It's a kidnapping.
24:23Yeah, but they're just-
24:23they're covering their bases, you know?
24:25Oh, wait.
24:26Okay, here we go.
24:26Wait a minute.
24:28Authorization just came in.
24:29I got the search loaded.
24:30Give me a second.
24:33Well, good news.
24:34I got a ping,
24:34which means he didn't jam up the GPS.
24:37It's zeroing in on an area of paradise.
24:39That's a big area.
24:40Well, it's triangulating.
24:42Give it a second.
24:43Waiting for it to resolve.
24:45Okay, it's a parking lot
24:46outside of a commercial laundry
24:48on Drover's Road.
24:49He's keeping her in a laundromat.
24:50Well, the internet tells me things.
24:52I tell you things.
24:52Okay, just text me the address
24:54and have some uniforms meet me there.
24:56You know what, Mark?
24:56I'm just hoping you didn't dump the van there
24:58and take her elsewhere.
25:06Let's do this.
25:06I think he's finished.
25:23Can I look at your picture, Brian?
25:30God, it's almost like a photograph.
25:32Sarah.
25:43Mark, hi.
25:45Brian just gave us a drawing of the kidnapper.
25:47The man we're looking for isn't Jamie Bregden.
25:49I know.
25:51I'm looking at Jamie Bregden.
25:53He's dead.
25:53Preliminary results from Jamie's autopsy
26:03indicate cause of death
26:04was a single stab wound to the heart.
26:06So either the killer was very lucky or...
26:09They knew what they were doing.
26:11Yeah, also there was nowhere near enough blood
26:12in the van for it to have been the murder scene.
26:14Meaning Jamie was killed elsewhere
26:15and transported there.
26:17So what do we think is going on here?
26:19Brian's drawing makes it clear
26:20that it wasn't Jamie who snatched
26:21Megan off the street.
26:22Right, but he still could have been involved, right?
26:24I could have had a partner
26:25who wanted all of the ransom money to himself.
26:28Yeah, once they had Megan,
26:29the partner would have realized
26:30they didn't need Jamie anymore.
26:31Right.
26:32That's my thinking too.
26:34Jesse, did you get in touch
26:36with that van rental agency?
26:37Yeah, the van was rented
26:38using a fake ID and a credit card.
26:40The problem was, first of the month
26:42and all the clerks were swamped
26:43with people renting vans to move, so...
26:45Great, so no one remembers
26:46what this guy looks like.
26:47Well, but we do have
26:48Brian's drawing of the suspect.
26:49Maybe we use that like an artist sketch
26:51to put out an APB.
26:52You know what?
26:53I might be able to do you one better.
26:55I'm beta testing
26:55some facial recognition software.
26:57I've been using Brian's drawing
26:58as a test case.
27:00You're thinking it can work from a drawing?
27:01It's worth a shot.
27:02I'd have to upload it and get permissions.
27:04It would take some time, but it's...
27:05Jesse, the details of the ransom drop
27:07just came in.
27:08I'm sending you a link.
27:10Yeah, okay.
27:13The money is to be placed in a duffel bag.
27:17And don't try marking the ransom.
27:19He'll know.
27:20Dad, take the bag to Forest Road Cemetery
27:23at 3 o'clock sharp.
27:25Drop it on the bench by the exit.
27:28Walk away.
27:29And don't look back.
27:32Forest Road Cemetery is wide open.
27:34It's gonna be hard to have surveillance there
27:36and not be spotted.
27:37There's no way we let this guy get away.
27:39This might be our only chance to save Megan.
27:41I have an idea.
27:43The killer said not to mark the money,
27:44but what if we did in a way
27:46that only Rex could detect?
27:47Then Rex can follow the money
27:48after it's delivered.
27:49Exactly.
27:50How would you do that?
27:52Synthetics.
27:53The canine unit uses synthetic scents
27:55to train the dogs.
27:57Pseudococaine or explosive powder,
27:59both are entirely undetectable by humans.
28:01I could spray the money with one of them.
28:03Do it.
28:08Okay.
28:24I've got eyes on Megan's father.
28:27He's crossing to the drop zone.
28:30He made the drop.
28:33And now we wait.
28:36Yeah, maybe not for long.
28:39We've got some action here.
28:41I've got a teenager.
28:42He's approaching the bag.
28:46He's looking.
28:49He's picking up the bag.
28:51He's got it.
28:52He's on the run.
28:53Let's go!
28:55Go, go, go, go, go, go!
29:03Stop!
29:09Right there!
29:17Easy, easy, easy.
29:19Hey, kid, just...
29:21Just set down the duffel bag.
29:24No, no, no.
29:25Don't...
29:25Don't do anything stupid.
29:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
29:38Turn around!
29:40You're under arrest.
29:44You're telling me you have no idea where Megan is?
29:46I told you, I don't know any Megan.
29:48You're just supposed to believe you had no idea what was in that duffel bag.
29:51Well, I didn't know there was money in there.
29:53Well, it wasn't just money.
29:54It was ransom.
29:55And that makes you an accessory to kidnapping and murder.
29:58You're going to spend the rest of your life in prison.
30:00I swear, I'm telling the truth.
30:05Then tell me again.
30:06How exactly did you get involved?
30:08I played this online game, StarQuest.
30:11One day, this player named Bregjam showed up,
30:13and in the chat, they offered me a bunch of game credits and skins
30:16if I did something for them.
30:17What was the ask?
30:18To go to the cemetery and watch for a man dropping a bag,
30:22and then grab it when he's gone.
30:23Then what?
30:24Run to the railing and drop it into a truck waiting below.
30:27If I was late, I got nothing.
30:29So who is this Bregjam?
30:30What does he look like?
30:32I don't know.
30:32I keep telling you this.
30:34You have to believe me.
30:36I would tell you in an instant
30:38if it would help get this person back.
30:41I thought it was just a prank or something.
30:44Please.
30:45I didn't want to hurt anyone.
30:52Do we believe the kid?
30:53I think so.
30:55I mean, it's a smart setup.
30:57Totally anonymous contact.
30:58When recruiting them and at the backdrop.
31:00What do we know about this pickup truck?
31:02Well, it turns out it was stolen from the Goulds about a week ago.
31:05Okay.
31:06Can we use security cameras to track it down?
31:08I tried, but I lost it leaving downtown.
31:10And what about this Bregjam?
31:11Is that like a play on Jamie Bregman?
31:13Indeed.
31:14Indeed, I traced it back to a gaming site based in Cyprus.
31:17Problem is that they used a VPN to mask the IP.
31:20I will get it, but it'll take some time.
31:22Well, time is what we do not have.
31:24The kidnapper has the money.
31:25He's already killed one person.
31:26Why would he let Megan live?
31:28Yeah, we need to find her now.
31:29Yeah.
31:30Okay.
31:31Facial recognition software just got a match for Brian's drawing.
31:34Tell me we got a hit.
31:35Actually, looks like we got 33 across the country.
31:43Still, that's incredible.
31:44Just from Brian's drawing.
31:46I'm just narrowing it down to search for people on the island.
31:49Okay.
31:51Okay, that leaves three.
31:53Well, let's focus on the one with the long criminal record, shall we?
31:56Agreed.
31:58Earl Blackburn, 43 years old.
32:01Did some time for armed robbery and assault.
32:03Ran a high-end chop shop disassembling stolen cars, and those are just the highlights.
32:07Do we know where this guy is?
32:08Yeah, he did parole, so I have a home address.
32:12Huh.
32:13Why don't you look at that?
32:15Looks like Earl Blackburn is represented by the law firm that Megan works for.
32:28I'm stunned.
32:29Earl was a model prisoner.
32:33He did all the programs.
32:34He had a great psych assessment.
32:36I really thought that he would phone.
32:39Well, we need to find him as quickly as possible.
32:41He's not at his home address.
32:43Do you have any idea where he might be?
32:45No.
32:45No idea.
32:46I haven't heard from him since his parole board meeting.
32:49Did Megan have any interactions with him when he was represented by the firm?
32:52No.
32:54No.
32:55But you know who did?
32:57It was Jamie.
33:04So let's say Jamie is running some collapsing scam.
33:07He's in desperate need of cash.
33:09Megan has turned on him.
33:10So he cooks up a kidnap scheme.
33:12Makes revenge on Megan and ransom from her parents.
33:15But Jamie decides he can't do it alone, turns to Earl Blackburn, who meant while working on his parole case.
33:20Right, only Earl turns the tables on Jamie.
33:22Yeah.
33:23But if this is the plan, then why didn't he give himself an alibi?
33:27What do you got, Sarah?
33:29Uh, more results from Jamie's autopsy.
33:31I can place time of death at 18 hours ago.
33:33Not long after Megan was taken.
33:35No.
33:36What else you got?
33:38Several tiny shards of chromium were found in the stab wound.
33:42Have a look.
33:43The type you'd expect to find in something like an industrial plant.
33:47Or maybe a professional chop shop?
33:49I'll have Jesse running on some locations.
34:02Okay.
34:02Hello?
34:07Mark, it's me.
34:08I searched every location that Earl Blackburn worked at in the past, and most of the buildings they had been sold or leased out to legitimate businesses.
34:15But there is one that remains vacant and on the market, and has been for the last six months.
34:20It's at 11 Clyde Avenue in Mount Pearl.
34:23We're on our way.
34:24Have a SWAT unit meet us here.
34:25You got it.
34:25There's no signs of activity or Blackburn's truck.
34:38Yeah, Lebrex and I take a closer look.
34:40Go.
34:40That's Viper.
34:59He's in there.
35:01Any sign of Megan?
35:02No.
35:03But I can't be sure she's not there.
35:05And he's got a gun.
35:06We need to move inside.
35:07Take him down fast.
35:08Copy.
35:09It's the vehicle Blackburn used to retrieve the ransom.
35:34Nothing.
35:38Where is she?
35:39Where is she?
35:48She better be alive.
35:50Huh?
35:50Is this really necessary?
36:08Brian's been through so much.
36:10I know.
36:10I need him to officially identify Earl Blackburn as an eyewitness.
36:14Brian, do you think you can help the police?
36:23Brian, I need you to look at someone and tell me if they're the man you drew.
36:27Can you do that?
36:28Come on.
36:29Let's sit, let our children have now.
36:37安 Dylan?
36:39We need you to go.
36:40We need you to go.
36:41Let's go.
36:42And I saw former Але pin tirar one of theemp try.
36:45How are you?
36:46Well, I've been at this booth yesterday.
36:46We're at this booth.
36:48We didn't get to the house.
36:49We нет.
36:49You don't have to Sant tener one.
36:50It's so hard.
36:50We couldn't, unless you are going with my body to return tonight.
36:52We've been doing so much work.
36:53We've given you.
36:54We're at this booth and we've been seeing you.
36:55We've been doing work at how many of us,
36:55we'll get back.
36:55We're great!
36:56And then, you're doing so hard.
36:57Brian, I want you to try and remember.
37:08Brian, is that the man who you saw taking the woman
37:11in front of your house?
37:20Yeah.
37:22Oh, Brian, thank you.
37:24I want you to know how much we all appreciate what you've done.
37:29I know it wasn't easy.
37:37We've got an eyewitness, Blackburn.
37:40We know you took Megan, so where is she?
37:44We've got Jamie's blood on the chop shop floor.
37:47We've got the truck you picked up the ransom in.
37:50So give yourself up and give us Megan.
37:54You know, all this time, I thought you were in this with Jamie.
38:05And this is what bothers me.
38:06If Jamie was your partner, how come you didn't do anything
38:11to cover his tracks?
38:14There's someone else involved, isn't there?
38:17Someone who needed cash, needed a scapegoat.
38:21Someone at the firm who'd have access to the accounts
38:24and has the smell of blood money all over them.
38:28Okay.
38:29I'll tell you.
38:32Detective.
38:33You've got a very full slate today.
38:34How can I be of assistance?
38:35Well, I wanted to let you know that we've captured Earl Blackburn.
38:39Well, thank God.
38:40Yeah.
38:40And Megan?
38:40Unfortunately, we didn't find her, which is why I wanted to speak with you.
38:46Yeah, of course.
38:48Come on in.
38:49How can I help?
38:52All along, I've had a notion that there was something off about this kidnapping.
38:58How so?
38:58Well, from the get-go, everything was pointed towards Jamie,
39:01but he's a lawyer.
39:03He's a smart guy, and he had to have known we'd be onto him.
39:06Well, it's not as if Jamie was a seasoned criminal.
39:09Unlike Blackburn.
39:11But then how could Blackburn know that Megan would leave work early?
39:16Yeah, I don't know, unless he was just waiting, watching for her to go.
39:21Yeah, maybe.
39:23But then there's the money that was stolen from the escrow accounts.
39:25Oh, yes, please.
39:28There is no sign that Jamie ever had it,
39:30which makes me wonder where it went,
39:32or if he even took it.
39:34I'm sorry.
39:36I don't get what you're implying here.
39:38We checked, Todd.
39:41And there is one other person at the firm
39:43who has access to those accounts.
39:53And that is you.
39:55I suspect that if I open this,
40:06I'm going to find $2 million.
40:10Tell me where she is, Todd.
40:12I have no idea.
40:13And you know that's a lie.
40:14Tell me.
40:16I believe I have the right to remain silent.
40:19And you have the right to an attorney,
40:20but you also have the right to be a decent human being.
40:23Talk to Blackburn.
40:23He's your abductor.
40:24Blackburn's not going to crack, and you know it.
40:27So far, you've had him do all your dirty work,
40:29but this time, it is you
40:30who is going to let Megan die.
40:32You really want to do that?
40:35Ask yourself.
40:41She's in an abandoned machine shop in the Goulds.
40:43Megan, it's okay.
40:56The police officers.
40:58It's my partner, Rex.
41:00Here you go.
41:02Everything's going to be okay.
41:03Yes.
41:03Yes.
41:04Yes.
41:04Yes.
41:05Yes.
41:05Yes.
41:06Yes.
41:06Yes.
41:07Yes.
41:08Yes.
41:09Yes.
41:10Yes.
41:11Yes.
41:12You see, when Megan went to Todd
41:24to talk about the missing funds,
41:27he saw a way out of his troubles.
41:29And he hired Earl Blackburn to kidnap her
41:31and framed it up to make it look like Jamie did it.
41:35And then Todd had Blackburn kill Jamie?
41:37Todd was betting that the investigation
41:40into those missing funds would end with Jamie's death.
41:44That he and Blackburn would split the ransom.
41:49So they were going to kill me, too?
41:57Jamie told me he had nothing to do with the missing money.
42:00I know.
42:00If only I'd believed him.
42:14Hello.
42:15Come on in.
42:15Hi.
42:16How's Brian doing?
42:17Better.
42:18Yeah.
42:19Oh.
42:22He's out of the shell he went into.
42:24And I think a lot of that has to do with Rex.
42:26Well, Rex understood Brian in a way none of us could.
42:29Yeah, it's good to have it, Rex.
42:31It sure is.
42:34Would it be OK for Brian to visit Rex sometimes?
42:37Yeah, sure.
42:38I think, uh, I think Rex would probably love that.
42:45Rex.
42:49So...
42:50Well,
42:52I will have a question for you guys.
